Junior Application Support Engineer

📍 Ranchi 🏷️ It Support 💰 ₹23,500 / month

About the Role

Lalpur in Ranchi also has a Junior Application Support Engineer opening, full time, on site, with an IT support team keeping business applications running for internal users. No prior professional experience is required, and this is a genuinely entry-level seat.

A Day in This Job

The work covers responding to technical support requests, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and escalating unresolved problems to the relevant team. Application support specifically means the issues here often trace back to a specific business application misbehaving rather than a general hardware problem, which takes a slightly different kind of troubleshooting instinct to build.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Respond to technical support requests related to internal business applications
  • Troubleshoot application-level issues under supervision
  • Escalate unresolved problems to the relevant specialist team
  • Log and track issues clearly in the ticketing system

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in information technology or a related field is expected, though a diploma is also considered, along with strong troubleshooting skills and familiarity with ticketing and remote-support tools. No professional history is required for this seat.

Skills That Matter

  • Application troubleshooting
  • Basic SQL for querying application data
  • Ticketing systems
  • Clear communication with frustrated or confused users

Good to Have

Any coursework in databases, basic scripting for automating repetitive checks, and genuine patience, since a user reporting "the system is broken" often means something very specific that takes real questions to uncover.

Why This Role

Lalpur's modest IT presence in Ranchi means this support team works closely with the business teams it serves, rather than being a distant, anonymous help desk. Naukri Mitra has listed a few support roles from this employer, and junior hires who've joined recently describe the mentorship as hands-on, with a senior support engineer reviewing their ticket handling directly during the first couple of months.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a scenario round on handling a confused user's vague issue report and a basic technical screening. Candidates who ask good clarifying questions during the scenario tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Ranchi

Location & Pay

This role is based at Lalpur, Ranchi, pin code 834001, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹23,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four weeks.
